I did my share of working as well. But we also went away for 2 weeks with tthe caravan (mobile home for you people in the US) and spent some time in Switzerland and France. My daughters were playing all day with new friends they made all the time, and I was mostly running after them, checking if they wouldn't get too close to the swimming pool or off the camping site and running under a truck orso... (they are 2 and 4). We did some sightseeing etc. and even went to a circus. Weather was great, very hot some days (over 40 degrees Celsius in the caravan).
